Some of the transitional periods of Britain during the first millennium A.D. are traditionally associated with the movement of people from continental Europe, composed largely of invading armies (e.g., the Roman, Saxon, and Viking invasions). However, the extent to which these were migrations (as opposed to cultural exchange) remains controversial. We investigated the history of migration by wo...

Neutrino reaction cross-sections, (ν µ , µ −), (ν e , e −), µ-capture and photoab-sorption rates on 12 C are computed within a large-basis shell-model framework , which included excitations up to 4¯ hω. When ground-state correlations are included with an open p-shell the predictions of the calculations are in reasonable agreement with most of the experimental results for these reactions. Woods-...

Energy spectrum and wave functions are obtained numerically with a potential consisting of Woods–Saxon, Coulomb, and spin–orbit coupling parts for the nuclei 15O, 15N, 17O, and 17F. The radial parts of the wave functions are used to calculate some matrix elements of electromagnetic transitions. These results are applied to calculate half-lives of low-lying exited states in the one-particle 17O ...

The new media situation gives fuel to increased competition between narratives. In the sphere of security this poses challenges to government strategic narratives. Scholars, drawing on findings from the Anglo-Saxon sphere, suggest that the new media activism gives rise to counter-hegemonic narratives that thrive on and through social media sites. We argue that the emergence of counter-narrative...

For the period 2003–2018, we show that U.S. firms have a higher cash-to-assets ratio than European have—in particular, among with high R&D expenditures and those in industries cash flow volatility, indicating potential roles of precaution uncertainty respectively holding. We find evidence industry volatility is relevant throughout period, while seems to matter only during crisis years 2008–2009...

Examination of 400 Saxon, Romano-British, and mediaeval skeletons from seven archaeological excavations in the west of England showed an unexpectedly high incidence of osteoarthritis and osteophytosis. Three skeletons had evidence of an erosive peripheral arthritis-one with probable gout, one probable psoriatic arthropathy, and one with possible rheumatoid arthritis. The pattern and types of rh...

SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION An Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Updown in Kent, consisting of over 300 graves,' was this year partially threatened by construction work. A rescue excavation of thirty-six graves threatened by this development, was undertaken. This 1,300-year-old site2 is situated some 11.5 kilometres north-west of Dover on a prominent chalk hill beside the Roman road which runs from Dov...
